El Dorado is ranked highly in their home state and on Thursday they took on another highly ranked team in the form of Bingham. The Golden Hawks were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over the Miners. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Golden Hawks considering their two-run performance the matchup before.
Logan Steenburgen spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Aiden McNaughton, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Mason Kim, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
